  • hexchat

    Discontinued GTK+ IRC client

    I've historically used KVIrc a lot. HexChat is also a popular one. Both will require the user to enter the server details (though you could create a patched version which doesn't) and probably also require installation (I faintly remember using a third party portable Version of KVIrc, but I'm not sure anymore). On mobile phones the situation is different. For Android I've used Atomic a couple of years ago.

  • ambassador

    Fork of ChatZilla for the Unified XUL Platform. (by Ascrod)

    If you've used ChatZilla before, you might want to try Ambassador. It's a fork of ChatZilla with proper SASL support (both PLAIN and EXTERNAL), and supports most IRCv3 specs. There are also other features you can see on the README file.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
